EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century artwork, titled "Rama on Horseback," showcases the revered Hindu deity Rama mounted on a dapple gray horse. The image, believed to have been created between 1750 and 1775, is an opaque watercolor on paper, showcasing the rich colors and intricate details typical of Mughal art. Rama, the prince of Ayodhya and the central figure of the epic Ramayana, is depicted here in profile, wearing a saffron-colored robe and holding a bow and arrow. Accompanying him are his loyal brother Lakshmana on the left and the monkey god Hanuman on the right. The horses, with their rearing stance and dapple gray coats, add a sense of energy and dynamism to the scene. The artwork, which is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia during the Mughal Empire. The image also highlights the concept of righteousness and the importance of the bond between brothers and loyal companions in Hinduism. The inclusion of Hanuman, the monkey god, underscores the significance of the monkey community in Hindu mythology and warfare.
